Stars and Stripes Forever

$250.00

As recorded on American Dreamers: Voices of Hope, Music of Freedom, Stars and Stripes Forever is a reverent and playful fast swing arrangement with twists and turns at every step. The tempo is set at a brisk 305 BPM (which is the area code of the recording location, Miami), and there is a teasing between the fast 4/4 and a half-time jazz waltz. There is ample space for the tenor saxophone to improvise before the orchestra travels through the traditional march development section with jazz influenced language.

*All charts are sold and delivered as high resolution pdf files.
